Am sim\u021bit cum inima mi-a s\u0103rit o b\u0103taie. Nu era prima dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd Ioana p\u0103rea tulburat\u0103, dar niciodat\u0103 nu o v\u0103zusem at\u00e2t de speriat\u0103. M-am aplecat spre Lili \u0219i i-am m\u00e2ng\u00e2iat p\u0103rul moale, sim\u021bind cum tremur\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce-ai v\u0103zut, draga mea? \u2014 am \u00eentrebat, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 nu las teama s\u0103 mi se aud\u0103 \u00een glas.<\/p>\n
Lili \u0219i-a str\u00e2ns ursule\u021bul mai tare la piept. O lacrim\u0103 i s-a rostogolit pe obrazul micu\u021b, iar vocea i s-a fr\u00e2nt:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Era cineva \u00een cas\u0103, bunico… dar mama a zis c\u0103 nu trebuie s\u0103 spun nim\u0103nui.<\/p>\n
M-am \u00eenfiorat. Afar\u0103 b\u0103tea v\u00e2ntul, iar o ramur\u0103 lovea u\u0219or geamul. Sunetul acela, repetitiv, parc\u0103 amplifica t\u0103cerea grea dintre noi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce fel de cineva? \u2014 am \u00eentrebat cu o voce mai joas\u0103, de parc\u0103 \u0219i pere\u021bii ar fi putut asculta.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Un b\u0103rbat… mare… dar nu-l cunosc. Mama pl\u00e2ngea. \u2014 Ochii ei mari se umpluser\u0103 de lacrimi, iar m\u00e2inile \u00eei tremurau.<\/p>\n
M-am ridicat \u00eencet \u0219i am \u00eenchis perdelele. Un nod mi s-a pus \u00een g\u00e2t. Mi-am luat telefonul \u0219i am \u00eencercat s\u0103 o sun pe Ioana, dar telefonul ei era \u00eenchis.<\/p>\n
Orele au trecut greu. Lili a adormit l\u00e2ng\u0103 mine, dar se zv\u00e2rcolea \u0219i murmura \u00een somn. Pe la miezul nop\u021bii, am auzit un zgomot afar\u0103, ca un motor oprit prea aproape de poart\u0103. Am tras \u00eencet perdeaua \u0219i am v\u0103zut faruri stinse.<\/p>\n
Am stat cu respira\u021bia t\u0103iat\u0103. Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva secunde, ma\u0219ina a pornit din nou \u0219i a disp\u0103rut. Dar somnul nu m-a mai prins. Am r\u0103mas l\u00e2ng\u0103 feti\u021b\u0103, ascult\u00e2ndu-i respira\u021bia.<\/p>\n
Diminea\u021ba, Lili s-a trezit \u0219i a cerut un pahar cu lapte. P\u0103rea mai lini\u0219tit\u0103, dar tot privea spre u\u0219\u0103 din c\u00e2nd \u00een c\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
Pe la ora opt, Ioana a ap\u0103rut la poart\u0103. P\u0103rea epuizat\u0103, cu cearc\u0103ne ad\u00e2nci \u0219i privirea pierdut\u0103. C\u00e2nd a intrat, am v\u0103zut c\u0103 m\u00e2inile \u00eei tremurau.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ioana, ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103? \u2014 am \u00eentrebat-o direct.<\/p>\n
Ea a \u00eencercat s\u0103 z\u00e2mbeasc\u0103, dar z\u00e2mbetul s-a risipit imediat. A \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103, am vrut s\u0103 v\u0103 protejez… \u2014 \u0219i-a dus m\u00e2inile la fa\u021b\u0103. \u2014 Nu mai \u0219tiam ce s\u0103 fac. El… nu m\u0103 mai las\u0103 \u00een pace.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum \u00eemi tremur\u0103 picioarele.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cine, Ioana?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Tat\u0103l ei… s-a \u00eentors. \u2014 Cuvintele i-au ie\u0219it printre sughi\u021buri. \u2014 Am crezut c\u0103 sc\u0103pasem…<\/p>\n
Mi-am dus m\u00e2na la gur\u0103, \u0219ocat\u0103. Omul acela, care o p\u0103r\u0103sise cu ani \u00een urm\u0103, violent \u0219i f\u0103r\u0103 inim\u0103, se \u00eentorsese.<\/p>\n
Am luat-o de m\u00e2n\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 N-o s\u0103 te mai ating\u0103 niciodat\u0103. \u2014 vocea mi-a ie\u0219it hot\u0103r\u00e2t\u0103, de\u0219i inima \u00eemi b\u0103tea nebune\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Am mers direct la poli\u021bie. Ioana tremura tot drumul, dar Lili st\u0103tea \u00een spate, privind pe geam cu ochii mari, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleag\u0103 totul.<\/p>\n
Acolo, dup\u0103 ce am spus tot, un ofi\u021ber ne-a privit serios \u0219i a dat din cap.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Sta\u021bi lini\u0219tite. De data asta, nu va mai putea face nimic.<\/p>\n
Seara, c\u00e2nd ne-am \u00eentors acas\u0103, Ioana a stat mult \u00een t\u0103cere, privind-o pe Lili cum coloreaz\u0103. Apoi mi-a spus:<\/p>\n
\u2014 M-am sim\u021bit mereu slab\u0103, dar azi am sim\u021bit c\u0103 am puterea s\u0103 pun cap\u0103t.<\/p>\n
Am z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu e\u0219ti slab\u0103, drag\u0103 mea. E\u0219ti mam\u0103. \u0218i o mam\u0103 care \u00ee\u0219i ap\u0103r\u0103 copilul e mai puternic\u0103 dec\u00e2t orice fric\u0103.<\/p>\n
Lili a venit \u0219i s-a cuib\u0103rit \u00een bra\u021bele noastre. \u00cen sf\u00e2r\u0219it, \u00een cas\u0103 era lini\u0219te. O lini\u0219te cald\u0103, care mi-a spus c\u0103, \u00een ciuda tuturor furtunilor, familia noastr\u0103 avea s\u0103 fie bine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
